Project Summary

Riseapps designed and built a social meetup iOS and Android app hosted on Amazon Web Services, including features such as login, push notifications, email integration and an admin portal. The vendor oversaw development across two versions, communicated effectively, and maintained an affordable cost structure. While the app's market success lagged initial expectations, the client praised Riseapps' responsiveness, delivery speed and ongoing relationship.

Key Challenges

  • Need for an app developer to execute the platform's ideas
  • Build functional iOS and Android apps with features for social meetups and event management

Project Deliverables

  • iOS and Android mobile apps
  • Login portal
  • Push notifications
  • Interactive activity features
  • Events menu
  • Admin portal for app maintenance
  • Email integration
  • Twilio messaging integration (planned)

Project Solution

Riseapps oversaw all aspects of development and built iOS and Android apps, delivering two versions of the product. They implemented features including a login portal, push notifications, interactive activity options, a menu for invited events, and an admin portal for maintenance. The app is hosted on Amazon Web Services; they integrated email services and planned to add Twilio-based messaging. The engagement involved regular weekly calls and direct collaboration with the CEO.

Project Outcome

  • App quality and development met or exceeded expectations
  • Market adoption was lower than hoped, attributed to business-side factors rather than development
  • Improved functionality anticipated after adding messaging and email integration
  • The vendor reliably met deadlines and maintained an ongoing positive relationship with the client
